Integration of the PowerStore container-based architecture with the onboard VMware ESXi results in a new level of consolidation for enterprise storage. This ability combines the benefits of a local on-array application environment with unmatched integration with the vSphere management environment and server resources. This integration allows users to bring applications closer to storage, by running applications as virtual machines directly on PowerStore.
Benefits of the AppsON capability include a new level of agility for application deployments. This feature enables seamless movement between the PowerStore appliances and VMware ESXi servers. It also shrinks the stack by eliminating server and networking footprint for space-efficient edge and remote deployments. AppsON is ideal for data-intensive applications that require low latency or heavy storage use compared to compute.
